Trying something new and learning by doing. 14 shots stiched together.

… this very young buck gets a bit of practice from his elder.

Learning-by-doing the skill of carrying things in its talons. This time it is a clump of leaves; later it will be a fish. Many times I have seen young Cooper's Hawks learning prey-carrying skills by carrying and playing with lumps of dirt or grass.

RKO_0628. Young Great Crested Grebe.

While sitting in my living this young Grebe was doing a great show at the ditch behind my house: washing, airlifting, admiral pose, diving, etc.

When she was a little further away I quickly took my camera and went out to carefully approach her trying to get some shots with de Z8.

Not sure about the settings yet. Learning by doing works the best for me I guess.

Learning by doing, a nice workshop on food photography, with Eileen Schäfer in Munich. First a short introduction to the subject, then start to photograph the stuff everybody brought. Actually Romanesco was on my Wishlist, but I could not get it in time. So lucky me, another participant brought some and I was able to borrow it for a couple of minutes.

As I'm trying to learn more about editing of night landscapes, it seems to be obvious to practice some learning by doing with older night shots which have good technical quality but did not show optimum results after post processing.

This panorama has been erged from 12 single shots taken from the tripod in portrait orientation with the 28 mm Zeiss Otus Distagon. Careful editing in Lightroom may seemed to be not that diificult but stitching really was ist: Lightroom and Potoshop were not able to achieve good results, only PT GUI did after some tests with the panorama editor.

The night was completely without moon but some wellcome light polution for the foreground coming from few little houses in the valley.

This picture is my first attempt to create this fascinating effect of milky water at sunset. To do this, I used a Polarizer, a ND8 Neutral Grey and a ND8 graduated Neutral Grey Filter, f8 @ 28 mm and ISO 50, which ended in an exposure time of 8 seconds. I think the composition of the rocks could be perhaps better, but the intention of this picture was learning by doing ;-) Unfortunately I don't live at the sea, so there will be not much of these pictures in my Photostream :-( Is anyone out there with a house to give away at the sea???

Last but not least a big thanxs to all the people on flickr who share theirs technical knowledge with others! Flickr is a great Knowledge Base and a wonderful place to meet people from all over the world.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your comments, invitations and faves! I'm overwhelmed and never thougt that this picture would get such a response.

Still new to me this Black and White Photography, trying to get the right style that I like and that the image is portraited how I saw the scene.

The tones I want to achieve with grey is not quite there, I am struggling with it but then there is learning by doing. I am still doing.

manipulation: my father "nixart" , and a little me....

pretty fun doing this... even i'm not an IT person... learning by doing...

Of course, these bright mushrooms are not real magic, but for me, they've always had something magical since I saw the first picture.

Admittedly I would have given everything at that time to know how it works and today I am very grateful that nobody had tell me because it has increased my curiosity about photography even more :-)

With a little delay, I wish you all an exciting and peaceful year 2019.

One from our "Back to the 60's" shoot a few weeks ago. ( : It was freezing (!) but you can't see it, because she's a pro. ♥

I have no idea what's going on, but during the last two weeks I stepped out of my comfort zone and got so much positive response, I can hardly believe it. Photographers, Models and Designers, I just wrote to them all. I feel like something big started, and I'll do it all step by step, being excited to the max, trying out new things, learning by doing and connecting with amazing people.

I've also got the strength to just say "Goodbye" to someone who turnes out to be .. not helpful and rude. I don't even feel annoyed, just dealing with it very quickly and erasing all the negativity.

Don't need that bullshit.

Because now it's my turn!

This picture is #1 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

This post marks the beginning of my participation in the group "100 Strangers." The concept is to take 100 portraits of strangers you approach for an impromptu photo session! Fellow participants in the group share not only their photos but also their learning experiences - and the motto of the group is "learning by doing." It seems a perfect way for me to improve my people skills, practice portrait photography and build my portrait portfolio!

Getting started was a bit of a struggle, though! Three times I had already specifically gone out to find my first stranger but never approached anybody. Mostly, I was preoccupied with the worry that I might not deliver a good photo. By the third time, I had discovered that Azalea Park in Brookings was an excellent location I intended to use. So for my fourth outing I returned there and practiced on Blanca with my new reflector. :) That gave me some confidence as I was liking the results.

While Blanca rested in the shaded car, I spotted a sweet young couple walking through the park and decided on them. Trying not to look at them with a predatory stare as they approached, I checked my camera ... and when I looked up again, they had gone down another path! So I was trying to find somebody else but couldn't quite find the right one.

And then that young couple came my way again! This time I approached them and they were super friendly and willing. Haley's boyfriend encouraged her to be my stranger #1 (obviously a big fan of her beauty) and I offered to also take a picture of both of them. He told me his name and even spelled it, but unfortunately I have to say that I just didn't register it (sorry!!! please tell me!). Anyway, he had his own camera on his shoulder and assisted me kindly in holding the reflector. They are visiting from Grants Pass. I didn't manage much of a conversation so that's really all I know about them. I liked the color of Haley's top and how it complemented all the greens and she was very easy to photograph! Thank you both so much for your cooperation and for making my first stranger portrait a very pleasant experience! :) Email me and I'll send you the originals. I hope you're happy with them.

Addendum: Haley let me know her boyfriend's name is Anthony and they loved the pictures!

Take one look at his series of intimate close-up pictures of foxes, squirrels, bears, and other animals and it is easy to see why. His images, which have been shared thousands of times, seem to invite us into a world of wildlife animals living happily in the Nordic countryside – with close-up photographs almost seem to tap into their very souls bit.ly/KonstaP_wildlife

We're winging it!

I am still in a learning phase with my Toyo 4x5" large format camera. These twisted beeches were standing quite close to the beach and still had leaves on them. That did not work so well, as it was a windy day. This is a learning by doing project ...

Camera: Toyo Field 45A

Lens: Fujinon-W 135mm f:5.6 (yellow filter)

Exposure: 20" @ F/45 (Reveni Spot Meter)

Film: Foma Fomapan 200 Creative 4x5" dev. in XTOL Replenished in a Jobo 2521 tank (2509n reel)

It's too early to tell if this first attempt will take. Apparently I have a lot yet to learn about materials and method. But hey, I had to start somewhere.

While waiting for my other half and my daughter who were shopping in C&A's I was quite happy to watch these two ladies discussing the pros & cons of wearing face masks.

It was a very animated conversation with lots of arm movements and hand gestures. I just stood there snapping away, knowing that I would definitely get a keeper or two out of the situation.

In the end I did get two shots of this scene worth keeping. It was a hard choice which one to upload, so I've decided the other one will follow soon.

Stay Safe :0)

Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.

Quincy Ross' very large photo on display in the lower level of the Guggenheim.

He'd NEVER been to the museum or NYC before - hadn't even seen his image. But there it is - bigger than he is.

He's a student at Taliesen West

Pretty awesome accolade, huh?

CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. Ross!

At the moment I have fun picking up some light trails......I actually had to find a suitable place to get even closer to the curvy track on the left edge of the picture. But because I already like this picture here, I'll come back another time and keep looking.

Because I liked the final result a bit better, I combined a picture with 246 seconds and one with 33 seconds, but I still have to work on my skills to avoid overexposing the lights that much.
